Patience is not my strong suit, to say the least but I must practice it right now. For Christmas this year, my husband has gotten me an Amazon Kindle. It is what I wanted and I did hint rather strongly (pretty much sent him 2 articles a week about the wonders of the Kindle). Kindle is a hot commodity right now. They are sold out following their endorsement of Oprah earlier this year. In addition, Amazon is evidently preparing to release Kindle 2 and speculation is rampant that they are not shipping any Kindles until the 2 is released in February. But, Amazon isn’t saying anything and it’s really all just speculation. But, speculating helps pass the time.
So, what am I doing while I’m waiting? There are things to do while waiting for your new Kindle.
- cancel all the “pre-order” book orders I’ve placed on Amazon for my favorite books
- add those “pre-order” books to my wishlist in the Kindle versions (when I can)
- read blogs about Kindle such as thekindle.wordpress.com
- window-shop for pink goodies to go with my Kindle
- window-shop for pink decals for my Kindle
- update my wishlist on Amazon for books that I want to have on my Kindle
- think about accessories that I need for my Kindle like a book light, car charger, screen protector, and the like.
These things pass the time but, oh my, it’s a still hard to wait. Sigh. Poor me.
